After confirming that the pretty girl huddled in the phone booth was the person they were supposed to pick up, Han Chui's mental state reached its maximum.
She's a real beauty, and the kind with a very pure and innocent look. It's just that her clothes are a bit outdated. If she dressed up a bit, she'd be the center of attention. She's exactly my type.
Han Chui's eyes flashed with a green light.
"Hey sis! I'm here to pick you up. Hmm! What's with you two looking so shifty? You don't look like good guys. Stay away from my sis."
This guy really knows how to bluff; he's really convincing as someone who's just using someone else's power.
However, today's opponents clearly won't buy into that.
The two young men retorted without hesitation: "Who are you calling a bad person? Say it again and see what happens!"
"You two are trying to harass my sister, aren't you? Luckily, two police officers are passing by. Let's get them to settle this."
As luck would have it, two policemen happened to be passing by, and Han Chui raised his hand and exclaimed "Hey!"
Upon seeing that the two young men had immediately boarded the car, they turned around and pretended to stroll down the street, walking away into the distance.
When the two policemen turned to look at Han Chui, he was already whistling as if nothing had happened.
Zhang Liyuan knew Liang Liang but not Han Chui. If she hadn't seen Liang Liang, she wouldn't have thought Han Chui looked like a good person.
With Han Chui and the two young men from before as a contrast, the person whom Zhang Liyuan's brother thought had shifty eyes suddenly appeared righteous. Zhang Liyuan followed closely behind Liang Liang, never leaving his side.
This made Han Chui extremely jealous. It was I who chased away those two scoundrels, okay?
The three left the bus station, took bus number 3, transferred once along the way, and finally arrived at the Aeon Mall.
Zhang Liyuan acted like a country girl, looking around as if she had never seen the world.
At that time, Shishan Town was not yet incorporated into Haikou City and was an ordinary rural town.
Even so, Shishan Town is only about 50 kilometers away from Haikou City. She had never been to Haikou City before.
It's like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden!
"What illness does your brother have?" Liang Liang arranged for Zhang Liyuan to stay in Xiao Yu's room and gave her a bottle of drink.
“He went to haul bricks with someone on a tractor yesterday, fell off the truck, and broke his leg.”
Is it serious?
"It's alright! I'm getting an IV drip at home now."
Getting an IV drip at home? Shouldn't it be done at a hospital?
Even if the injury isn't serious, if it's not properly corrected and leaves behind aftereffects like a limp, where will he find a wife?
Why not take him to the hospital?
Zhang Liyuan lowered her head and remained silent.
I'm asking you a question!
"We don't have any money at home," Zhang Liyuan said in a very soft voice.
What's your brother's name?
"Zhang Zhenyu!"
Liang Liang turned to Han Chui: "Zhang Liyuan's brother broke his leg and is currently at home receiving an IV drip. Do you understand?"
Han Chui nodded: "I understand."
"Your task is to go find Zhou Anming right now, get five thousand yuan from him, then ride as fast as you can to Shishan Town, find Zhang Liyuan's house according to the address, and take her brother to the hospital. Her brother is only in his twenties and hasn't gotten married yet. He can't have any aftereffects. If he doesn't go, you have to hire someone to carry him to the hospital."
The money they recently earned was divided up the night before and almost all of it was mailed out the next day.
I only have three or five hundred dollars on hand, so naturally I have to go and make money when I need such a large sum.
Han Chui turned and ran out, but after a couple of steps he ran back to Zhang Liyuan.
"Hey sis! Don't worry, I promise I'll get your brother to the hospital safely."
Zhang Liyuan, that silly girl, didn't catch the trick in Han Chui's words at all.
This bastard takes advantage of everyone.
After Han Chui left, Liang Liang asked Zhang Liyuan about her musical knowledge.
To my surprise, this question led to great disappointment.
Zhang Liyuan is not completely ignorant of music theory, but at most she is only at the level of recognizing simplified musical notation.
This was thanks to the guidance of her uncle, who taught music at Shishan Town Middle School.
That is, the man who answered Liang Liang's pager.
If we want to turn her into a pop star, there are still many things to do in all aspects.
Fortunately, she's only participating in a competition right now, and she's still far removed from those things. We'll talk about it after this competition.
In the 1980s and 90s, the most common accompaniment method for singers participating in singing competitions was the cassette tape accompaniment mode.
Zhang Liyuan has no accompaniment track!
This is a very important thing. How can you participate in a singing competition without backing tracks?
"That demo was recorded by my second uncle using his tape recorder, but he didn't record the backing track."
"So, what song are you going to sing?"
"The Loess Plateau, my beloved hometown."
Singing Northwest Wind songs from the 1980s is no good now. When Hong Kong and Taiwan songs were everywhere, singing such songs would never win the favor of the judges.
"Xiao Yu! You are in charge of teaching her to sing 'Crazy for Love' and 'Legend.' She must learn them this afternoon, as they might be needed tomorrow. As for the accompaniment, it's too late to find or make a backing track now, so we can only use a band."
"Are you up to something again? She's an innocent girl." Xiao Yu pulled Liang Liang aside and confronted her.
"What you said is problematic. It makes it sound like you're not pure. I didn't think anything of it."
"Didn't you think about it? You brought her here, a complete stranger, arranged accommodation for her, provided her with songs, even used the songs to treat her illness, and now you've arranged for a band to accompany her for free. You're telling me you didn't think about anything?"
"Hehe! You're jealous, aren't you? If you're jealous, just say so. I'll always keep my door open for you... Hey! You sissy! Here we go again! Let go! If you don't let go, believe me, I'll lie on the floor and pretend to be dead!"
My ear was saved at least.
Looks like I'll have to get a metal earmuff, otherwise this idiot will twist my ear off sooner or later.
“I have high hopes for this girl’s voice. If she makes it to the end of this competition, I plan to introduce her to Pacific Entertainment or Golden Dream Entertainment. Don’t you think it’s very fulfilling to watch an ordinary girl become a singer?”
"Hehe! You'd feel even more accomplished if you trained him to be your wife."
"That won't do! If that's the case, I'll have to buy a building to house them in the future, otherwise there won't be enough room for them!"
"Ah! How many wives do you plan to marry in the future?"
"Nonsense! Are you hearing loss or have poor language comprehension? Go teach Zhang Liyuan to sing right now. Remember, this is called a long-term investment."
Liang Liang judged from Zhang Liyuan's demo tapes that she had an exceptionally strong musical sensibility.
His judgment was spot on. Zhang Liyuan's understanding of music far surpasses that of ordinary people; she can sing a song perfectly after listening to it a few times.
Moreover, her collaboration with the band went very smoothly; after a few rehearsals, she was able to work well with the band.
If someone like that releases a song in the future, people will be willing to collaborate with them, as it saves a lot of trouble!
By noon, Zhang Liyuan was able to perform both songs perfectly with the band's accompaniment.
